[edit] Revert

Your changes to Jessica Alba were reverted. Placing the copyrighted image at the top of the page meant that it was being used to depict Ms. Alba, not to provide illustration of the controversy surrounding the Playboy cover. That is in violation of Wikipedia's copyright and fair-use policies. Sorry. --Yamla 15:18, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dead Rising

You pulled the "Save System" section I'd created off the page - my language there reflected the general tone of the reviews I cited in those paragraphs, including a citation for the gameplay roots of that system. I appreciate your effort to clean up the page - the Capcom Trivia section was a good move, but I think you overzealously pruned a useful section with a meaningful reference and citation. I'm going to carefully restore parts of what I had originally inscribed there - hope you like what I make better. -JustinHall 17:27, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

You're real good about staying on top of Dead Rising and keeping it neat! Thanks for that. Recently, someone introduced a section on characters; you wrote: "(I'm all for going into more depth about characters, but that was not well formatted)" and then you removed the entire contribution! If something is poorly formatted, wouldn't you fix the formatting, instead of removing the content? -JustinHall 16:08, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
I saw that you cleaned up my section on the text size issue. I don't disagree with your decision to swap the section name from "Controversy" to "Issues", but it does lend itself to a larger discussion on developing for HD/SD. It caused a lot on anger and gnashing of teeth which is why I chose controversy because it alludes to larger issues. Some gamers have been discussing this since launch, citing Perfect Dark Zero as also problematic. Thanks for the cleanup, also. GilloD 15:42, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] No Trivia sections

Hi Joker, you're making good edits on music articles, however please don't introduce Trivia sections into them, as you recently did on Achtung Baby. See Wikipedia:WikiProject_Music/MUSTARD#Trivia, and User:Wasted_Time_R#Why Trivia sections are bad for why not. Wasted Time R 15:50, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Stephen Colbert episodes

Can the polling results be moved to another area? I believe that some information on the follow up of the request for the bridge to be named after him is an interesting as information about elephant population entries in wikipedia.
cprockhill 01:22, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

I don't see the point. First of all, the poll isn't even closed yet. It ends September 8th, so having it "up-to-the-moment" isn't really useful. Secondly, I don't think results with those specific of details for just a simple poll are necessary for an encylopedia article. Y2kcrazyjoker4 16:04, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

I disagree on both points. I believe the final results should included. If the concern is its fit in relation to the flow and style of the episode page I can get on board with that and we can work on where to include it. On the point of information being up to the moment, there are numerous examples where information is provided as up date until a certain point...for instance...big brother changes all the time as the show airs, the number of daily show episodes changes as they come out with more, and even the names of places on the earth is never really completely acurate as it changes yearly. So, I believe that we could create another page where we keep track of this information and just put a link in the main page...would this be an acceptable compromise?cprockhill 01:22, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

Not sure how you would do that, but I'm open to any ideas. Y2kcrazyjoker4 04:41, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

I will work on the idea and get back to you; appreciate the feedbackcprockhill 12:46, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] svr 07

there is new info up at ign.com concerning season mode

The PS2 image makes the article look more consistent. Consistency improves the quality of articles. I readded the 360 logo to the article since it means that much to you. -- bulletproof 3:16 23:49, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
It would make sense to have consistency among articles if the games weren't available across different generations of video game consoles. If SVR was available on the PS2 for the next 50 years, then yes, it would make sense to have the PS2 cover for the sake of consistency. But the PS2 is now outdated, it is now only current-gen. Now that next-gen is being phased in and replacing current-gen, it makes little sense to me to keep putting the PS2 cover in just because "that's the way it's always been done."

[edit] Viva Piñata

Thank you for cleaning up the Viva Piñata article.

On a related note, I've created a new wiki dedicated to Viva Piñata at http://PinataIsland.info

We encourage you to update the site with Viva Pinata information you'd like to share.

[edit] User notice: temporary 3RR block

[edit] Regarding reversions[1] made on September 20, 2006 to Mariano Rivera

 You have been temporarily blocked for violation of the three-revert rule. Please feel free to return after the block expires, but also please make an effort to discuss your changes further in the future.
The duration of the block is 24 hours. William M. Connolley 09:18, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
I will leave the article alone for 24 hours. Y2kcrazyjoker4 19:35, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
OK, you're unblocked. AS to how to solve the issue behind this: you need WP:DR - which at this stage means (a) talking and (b) getting more people involved William M. Connolley 20:38, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Once again thank you for sane editing of the U2 article. Although i agree with its removal - as i do with so much little bits of trivia that get chucked in there - a lot of that info is actually quite valid, but just not in the main article. hmmm. Is there a place for U2's business dealings? (not in the introduction of course. Keep up the good work. --Merbabu 05:39, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Saints Row

Hi. You removed part of my contribution to the Saints Row article, stating "Graphical issues I'm talking about universal to all TV's". I don't mind that you removed my SDTV comment but please bear in mind that this is an encyclopaedia, not a personal blog, and comments and opinions from others are just as valid as your own. Cpc464 16:16, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] No sockpuppet

Somebody's suspecting me to be a sockpuppet of you... well they're wrong... I entirely agree with you on the issue of Mariano Rivera's nicknames... I will eliminate them from the article whenever the IP address users put them back as long as I don't violate the 3RR... if you have questions or if you notice a sockpuppet investigation about you send me a message. Canjth 00:58, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

It might not have been your intention, but you recently removed content from Xbox Live. Please be careful not to remove content from Wikipedia without a valid reason, which you should specify in the edit summary or on the article's talk page. Thank you. ˉˉanetode╦╩ 01:11, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Links

When editing links, make sure you check that they're valid: Links are very poorly implemented in mediawiki, for example "Love, Honour and Obey" works, whereas "Love, Honour And Obey" won't unless a redirection page is created. Have fun editing! yandman 08:07, 26 October 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Image:Guitarhero2-xplorer.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Guitarhero2-xplorer.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --– Quadell (talk) (random) 21:17, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your edit summary on Guitar Hero

With regards to your comments on Guitar Hero: Please see Wikipedia's no personal attacks policy. Comment on content, not on contributors; personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Note that continued personal attacks may lead to blocks for disruption. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. Leuko 00:34, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Flyer/Flier

Both spellings are acceptable, thus you are wasting your time making these edits. Thought you might like to know. -FateSmiled&DestinyLaughed 03:28, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Smackdown VS. RAW 2007 Glitches

This game is filled with sound glitches and this fact is acknowledged by just about everyone whose played it. The glitches are a fundamental flaw in this game, and something everyone should know about, therefore it belongs in the entry. Do you have a personal stake in this matter? I.E., do you or someone related to you work for TH-Q pr Yukes? Because otherwise I can think of no reason why you would insist on removing this section. Thanks for your time. --CJ 05:21, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your edit to Incubus (band)

Your recent edit to Incubus (band) (diff) was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to recognize and repair vandalism to Wikipedia articles.

[edit] Sandman and The Hammer of God

The anonymous user had accepted to make a compromise by putting the nicknames never used in the trivia section. Could you accept this compromise, or at least (which would be better) accept to leave only "Sandman" in the trivia section? If we come to such a compromise, the revert warring would stop. I would tolerate leaving "The hammer of God" but it would be preferable to leave only "Sandman". What do you think about this compromise? Canjth 17:00, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

See my reply on the page's talk page. Nishkid64 02:37, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Windows in the sky

THere's a discussion about the list of artists that appears in the video. You may be interested - well, I'd like your reply. I replied to two editors who believe that every artist should be mentioned. regards Merbabu 02:14, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Spam

Guitar Hero II info is extremely trivial and unimportant to song articles. Besides, its unfortunately become commonplace for it to appear at the beginning/middle many of the song articles. It's got its own page, leave that info there. Darwin's Bulldog 06:36, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

One of the best-selling games of 2006 (and the sequel to the award winning game of 2005) is not trivial. People who never play consoles know about Guitar Hero. You need to drop your snobby attitude towards consoles, and remember that you don't own the article just because you created it or contributed heavily towards it. (Also note that this is an official policy, not a guideline, so if you still don't like it, you'll have to take it to Moderation.) The Kinslayer 15:24, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] SVG??

Is it possible to upload SVG files, and have wiki automatically convert it on the fly to png? If so how do I do this, when I tried to upload an SVG it said it was not a recommended format, I did not see a way to force it to go. I noticed in the uploaded files area you have a couple that are .svg.png. --Green-Dragon 06:37, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:U2chicago-dvd1.JPG)

Thanks for uploading Image:U2chicago-dvd1.JPG. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

[edit] More Saints Row stuff

Instead of just blanket reverting revisions, as you did in [2], perhaps you should actually look at what you're reverting first? You undid all my changes of Volition Inc. to Volition, Inc., which I recently moved. - JNighthawk 23:45, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] CKY

Hi, I notice you've been doing some maintenance on CKY related articles. Would be great if you could join up at WP:CKY and/or keep others informed about what you're doing, and what else needs done on the relevant sections of the noticeboard. Also, please double check that when you fix something you don't accidentally create a new error (eg "Bam married to Melissa Rothstein"). Cheers, Deiz talk 07:15, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] AfD nomination of References to media in Dead Rising

An editor has nominated References to media in Dead Rising, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not"). Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/References to media in Dead Rising and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Tabletennis-screen.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Tabletennis-screen.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

[edit] Guitar Hero III and Matchbook Romance

The song was on THE BAND'S MySpace.. I would think that THE BAND would know if their song is in the game or not.

I can post on my MySpace and say one of my songs is going to be in Guitar Hero 3. How is that verifiable in the least? Y2kcrazyjoker4 22:35, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Why else would they say they're in the game? They're not going to lie to all of their fans about something like that.

People do irrational things sometimes, I can't explain irrational behavior. Fact of the matter is, though, until the makers of the game or a video game publication/website can confirm a song is in the game, it is for all intents and purposes not in the game.

[edit] Politeness

While you were very polite when you removed italics from song names on my user page, you could have definitely been more so when editing "The Hands That Built America" - if you don't know how song titles are formatted, don't edit is a very strong statement that I took offense to. Please see Etiquette for tips on interaction with other Wikipedians. MelicansMatkin 13:43, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

This is uncalled for too. Please don't make editing wikipedia personal. It's not a question of ownership, it's a question of what is appropriate. It was a criticism of the last 3 FA's that the article history covers too many little facts, and just lists things for the sake of filling in the years. If you have a concern, take it to the talk page - please don't make uncivil remarks on edit summaries. Merbabu 02:44, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

PS, i guess all I am saying it to remember, comment on the edits not the editor. Otherwise, WP:KETTLE means no-one wins out, killing collaboration. I will work out a way to get around this issue of trivia. Perhaps you need to review previous FA comments. this for example (although in that case - the 2nd paragraph re Joshua Tree suggestions is now redundant). Merbabu 03:01, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The Edge's guitars

I spent a long time compiling this list, and now you just deleted it? Is there a page we can make that will show the list or something?—Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.254.13.123 (talk • contribs)

No. I kept the list of guitars and got rid of the songs he plays them for. Why? Well, it's a useless list that was excessively long. And Wikipedia has a policy against indiscriminate lists of information. Also, some songs he switches the kind of guitar he plays from performance-to-performance so a list really just grows for no purpose. And considering we've already covered the fact that Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate list of information, a separate page for the guitars/songs is out of the question. I'm sorry if you went to a lot of work, but Wikipedia also does not allow original research. Y2kcrazyjoker4 01:56, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
You also have no reliable sources for the info - and this was requested a long time ago. Merbabu 06:06, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

I actually do have reliable sources, and I stated that he switches guitars, but I guess you are right though. :( I didn't know. Man, I spent monthes looking all that up. How about we compromise and only put a few notable songs up?

No, because then if we have one or two up, other songs will start creeping into that list from other users. It's bad enough we list every guitar The Edge plays (that is probably not even necessary itself), but to list every song in the band's catalogue and which guitar it matches up to is just no necessary or reasonable.

Y2kcrazyjoker4, Thanks! When I had the article at 12th Album before, this one person came in and changed it to 16th. That was that person's fault. Yet again, thanks for agreeing with me that it's the 12th album, not 16th! CRBR 20:04, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Luis Gonzalez nickname warring

Hi Y2k. An anonymous editor is insisting on adding the nicknames "LuGo" and "Long Gone" on the article Luis Gonzalez (outfielder), just like it had been on Mariano Rivera with other nicknames never used. The user has even started removing the nickname "Gonzo" which is the most commonly used nickname for Luis Gonzalez. I am reverting these edits and I would appreciate if you came to take a look at this article's talk page and give your opinion about this. Thank you. Canjth 20:34, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Snow Patrol

With all due respect, please do some research before reverting edits. This band definitely contributes largely to the power pop genre. I've now cited some references in the article if you'd care to see. It seems to me that summarily reverting (your comment said "none of these edits were helpful or cited") is somewhat irresponsible. Does every sentence in an article need a citation? Surely you've heard Snow Patrol. "Chasing Cars"? Pure powerpop. "Signal Fire"? Pure powerpop. "Run"? Pure powerpop. "You're all I have," "Hands Open" - the list goes on. See citations I've added to the article, the critics agree. Gekritzl 01:14, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

THis has been the dominant reason for the article's now 3 FAC failures. Please stop adding in relatively insiginificant details. This is not a list, discography, or timeline of events. Please try to see the bigger picture. Merbabu 01:57, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] One edits

If you believe you can make it clearer, please go ahead, but this has removed important meaning from the section. Ie, it's lost the point of the 'watershed' (find another word if you want) and the fact that the writing of One short-circuited a band crisis and provided a sense of purpose for the band. Please reconsider - or I can reword it again later on. kind regards. Merbabu 02:34, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] U2 teenagers pic

Sorry not to get back to you earlier, i got sidetracked, and then forgot.

I think using that pic is a great idea from you, and would be a huge lift for the article. However, although I am no expert in copyright, I am fairly certain we can't really use it. Firstly, it's a non-free image (ie, copyrighted) and fair use is only really a last resort where it is crucial for the article. Even if you do get it up, in my experience, you will be defending constantly - you could get lucky and convince one 'deletionist', but then the next will delete it. (groan) Let me ask around, but I don't think it is going to be OK. A real pity.

I upload a few of my own (awful) pics and I too am hopeless with choosing the correct license. It really needs to be explained better in layman's terms. --Merbabu 21:56, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pittsburgh Pirates

I'm curious as to why you deleted the Pittsburgh pirates game log, seeing as many other mlb team templates have the same number of red hyperlinks. Not to mention, I (unlike most people) was committed to expanding those links and adding season information. It's a long job, and I plan on finishing it.

[edit] An answer to your edit summary on Guitar Hero II

Which was: "why do we need to source a product that does not yet exist?"

This shouldn't still be left unsourced, because the game manual is as far the only source on where you could verify that there is an optional pedal for Guitar Hero II. When I was placing the tag, I was very sure that the claim could use with a citation, because this piece of information isn't very common to be found from sources. Even if it's not possible to find a source from a website, even the game manual would be a good source enough for this claim to ensure it is verifyable. Myself I don't own the Xbox 360 GH II manual, so I was unable to do this. ~Iceshark7 16:41, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Also another one: "I'm confused... does the next tier unlock after completing the Encore, or after completing the current tier's requirements?"

I found out that you actually need to clear the encore song. (PAL, PS2, Expert) This might be different on a lower difficulty/different console/NTSC versions etc. Verifications for this could be a good thing, and I don't think that the encores are there just for some "extra cash", even though those do indeed net more money than the other songs. ~Iceshark7 16:46, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Replaceable fair use Image:Guitarhero2-controllers.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Guitarhero2-controllers.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rettetast 16:58, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] MLB 07: The Show

Back in April, I had added a 'problems and glitches' section to MLB 2K7. It was originally unsourced, and I added citations from the forums of 2K Sports, just so they were sourced. I'm not trying to bring up the point now that they should stay. I have a similar problem with the game noted above. You had said to me that there needs to be a source better than forums. I'm currently in an edit war over the same thing. What's worse is not only are they unsourced, but many of them are factual errors that don't interfere with gameplay. Actually, I would like to know your view on why you pulled it on MLB 2K7 to begin with. Anyway, please respond on my talk page and yours, as I will copy, paste this 'letter' to my talk page as well. Thanks. Socby19 06:34, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Guitar-hero-controller.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Guitar-hero-controller.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 15:15, 7 August 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Mariano Rivera

I think I know why that one guy keeps putting Palmeiro in there. It's not to boost Palmeiro's name. Quite the contrary. It's to say that "the only homer hit off Rivera was by a steroid user". Either way, though, it's trying to make some kind of dubious point. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 21:58, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

I take it back. It appears to be just another User:Ron liebman sockpuppet, along with the one called Wickersham or some such, as they exhibit similar behavior. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 02:50, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
And the way I know is because he's an egotist. Note his comment: "not sockpuppet of Ron Liebman - never even met him." Most of use would say "never heard of him" or "don't know who that is." That comment carries with it the assumption that everyone should know who Liebman is - which is consistent with Liebman considering himself to be the world's baseball trivia expert. Anything that looks like the long-banned user Liebman's M.O., I revert on sight. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 02:49, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Sorry about that, I was trying to group different sections with similar subjects together under similar headings like the Video Game project recomends.

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:New-yankee-stadium2.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rossrs (talk) 12:51, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Live-from-somerset-house.jpg

I have tagged Image:Live-from-somerset-house.jpg as {{no rationale}}, because it does not provide a fair use rationale. If you believe the image to be acceptable for fair use according to Wikipedia policy, please provide a rationale explaining as much, in accordance with the fair use rationale guideline, on the image description page. Some examples can be found at Wikipedia:Use rationale examples. Please also consider using {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/Non-free. Thank you. Project FMF (talk) 22:38, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:New-yankee-stadium.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:New-yankee-stadium.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 12:05, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of Image:Gh-guitar-controllers.jpg

A tag has been placed on Image:Gh-guitar-controllers.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I8 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is available as a bit-for-bit identical copy on the Wikimedia Commons under the same name, or all references to the image on Wikipedia have been updated to point to the title used at Commons.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Gary King (talk) 06:38, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] May 2008

Please stop your disruptive editing, such as the edit you made to Liberty City (Grand Theft Auto). If your vandalism continues, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. PoinDexta1 01:49, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Edit summaries

Hi, I've noticed (mostly on the GTA IV article) that you often make edits where you remove large portions of text without giving reasons as to why. I'd like to encourage you to more often use edit summaries when you make edits that might not seem obvious to everyone. Best regards — Emil K. (talk|contribs) 23:53, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Could you maybe be more detailed with why you're removing specific sections? The Vandal Warrior (talk) 21:53, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Removing {{toolong}}

Hi. In case you didn't notice, you removed {{toolong}} from the top of Grand Theft Auto IV. I'm going to assume good faith, as in it was an accident. The page is still rather large. WP:SPLIT says that after 60 kB, articles should be considered for splitting. If you think the template shouldn't be there, talk about it! Talk:Grand_Theft_Auto_IV#Article_length.2C_again.

[edit] GTA IV

Sorry, think I had an edit error or something with you there, if your comment was aimed at me anyway. Was trying to revert The Vandal Warriors revert of your edits...anyway. Sorry. John.n-IRL 00:05, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Ah, yes, I see what happened now. I was in the middle of making a quick edit, but didn't realize my previous ones had already been reverted. I got all confused cause things seemed to happen out of order. Y2kcrazyjoker4 (talk) 00:08, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
No worries. :) John.n-IRL 00:17, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Although you are allowed to remove my comments it is rude. I'm just trying to help build a better article on GTA IV and a little bit of civility goes a long way. If you delete this comment I'll presume that you have read it. The Vandal Warrior (talk) 21:14, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Help with PopMart Tour

Hey, I'm really trying to get PopMart Tour to GA-status, and I'm running into a big problem as I'm trying to figure out how to structure the article's layout. Since I haven't found any decent concert tour articles on here, I can't seem to figure out how to write this one. There are so many topics I want to cover, but I just don't know to put it all together. If you could help me out with some suggestions, I'd appreciate it a lot. –Dream out loud (talk) 03:52, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
